In May 2019 Mellie was formed as a band in Leipzig. Straight out of their own imaginary Mid-90ies, Mellie is a Noise-Pop-Trio that grinds up Baby Stereolab and Blonde Redhead into unforeseeable mild-but-loud Avant-Pop-Songs. The music was praised for their ‘quirky Avant-Pop‘ and lightweight ’Sonic-Youth-Remembrances‘. The songs own a ‘gentle Olympia-Vibe, having Acts from K Records or Kill Rock Stars in mind.‘ After playing two handfuls of shows they release their first EP ‚Have Head’ via Flennen collective (Berlin) and RDS REC. HH (Hamburg).
Recorded & mixed between October 2019 and Januar 2020 at Studio Tutti in Leipzig by Alexander Günther. All compositions by Mellie. Mellie is Julia Boehme (Vocals, Guitar), Marius Huber (Vocals, Bass) and Alexander Günther (Drums). Painting & Drawings by Theo Huber. Design and Silkscreen-printing for Vinyl Edition by Julia Boehme. Photos by Jonas Brückner.
